Force your army to wear hideously garish sweaters!

Comment by Keldesh

Decorations can only be seen in level 3 Garrisons. You can request Izzy Hollyfizzle to remove them, change which holiday decorations appear, or if you want them back you can ask her to redecorate your Garrison. Decorations can be added back to your Garrison at any time (even outside the holiday), and they will remain in your Garrison until you ask Izzy Hollyfizzle to remove them. So if you want pumpkins all year round you can! If you want candy canes and Winter Veil trees during the summer go for it!

This adds pairs of Lil' Snowfighters to your garrison who have snowball fights if you're Horde or Lil' Helpers if you are Alliance, a PX-238 Winter Wondervolt machine for easier access to change into a little helper, and the dancing goblin, Lil' Ralph, who you can chat with if Horde or you can chat with Erik who is getting presents ready on the Alliance side.

Puts your guards in Winterhats, with and without the WinterClothing (colors dependent upon your faction) and Gaudy Winter Veil Sweater (this is dependent on which race you have as guards). This will also put the title of "Jolly" or "Merry" on some of those who have the outfits on (e.g., Jolly Sentinel, Merry Guard, etc. ). Out of Alliance Gnome Guards do not. This also adds Snowman to your garrison. You can chat with him, but he does not respond to emotes.

Hangs stockings throughout your garrison, lines the paths with candy canes, and decks the halls with mistletoe.

WinterReveler do not seem to be a part of any of the decorations, but will disappear if you have any Winter Veil decorations and ask Izzy Hollyfizzle to remove them. Not sure if these are tied into the decorations or are just seasonal guests.

Decorations FAQ:

A. Do they disappear after the holiday?Q. No they do not. They will remain in your garrison until you ask Izzy Hollyfizzle to remove them.

@Muffinus: Permanent, and you can turn your garrison into Halloween any time of year.

A. If I have Izzy Hollyfizzle remove them are they gone for good, and have to rebuy them?Q. No, you just need to ask Izzy Hollyfizzle to redecorate when you want them back.

A. Are these BOP?Q. No, they are account bound. So you can do the dailies and buy them on an alt then send them to another character (on your account) to use in their garrison. This means if you have 5 level 100's wiuth level 3 garrisons you could get all the decorations for one character in one day. Remember though that the actually item you buy is consumed upon use. So you can only use it to decorate 1 garrison. You will need to buy more if you want that decoration on any of your other garrison.

A. Can I use them on a level 2 garrison?Q. Yes, but you will not see the decorations until your garrison is upgraded to level 3.

A. Can I have individual items turned off?Q. No, once you add the decoration you can only ask for all that season's decorations to be turned off or on.

A. Can I have a decoration removed completely from my garrison and keep the rest?Q. It does not appear to be an option.

A. Can I have both Hallow's End and Winter Veil decorations up in my garrion at the same time?Q. No, you cannot have both seasons at the same time. You can only have one, the other, or none.

A. Can I have all 5 decorations from one holiday displaying in my garrison?Q. Yes, you can have all 5 decorations up in your garrison.

A. Can I buy the decorations at any time or just during the holiday?Q. You can buy them at anytime if you have the currency for them. However, you can only earn the currency during the respected holiday season.

A. If I don't use the decoration before the holiday ends does it disappear?Q. No, the decoration item does not require a holiday. Thus it does not expire once the holiday is over.

A. Do I have to get the decorations for each of my garrisons or if I add them to one they will show up in all?Q. You need to get the decorations for each garrison you would like to have them in.

Use the Spirit Bomb,in your bag, giving you area target to toss the Spirit Bomb on 5 Unusual Gifts. There is a min range for these, so stand a bit back away from them, and you can continue to target the one in the same location each time it spawns.

Q. Where is the quest giver located?A. During their holiday season, you will be able to find them next to Izzy Hollyfizzle in your garrison.

Q. How many dailies are there?A. There are 4 total dailies.

Q. How many Merry Supplies can I earn each day?A. You can earn a total of 5 for each level 100 character you have with a level 3 garrison.

Q. Can I go to my friend's level 3 garrison and get the quests?A. You can only get the quests if your character has a level 3 garrison.

A. How many Merry Supplies can I earn on one character during the entire season?Q. Each day of Winter Veil you can earn 5 Merry Supplies per level 100 character. Winter Veil is 18 days long (2015-2016). So a total of 90 Merry Supplies can be earned (note that one quest may have been bugged on the first day preventing players from completing that quest) per character.

I'm hoping these are going to be costumes on my racial guards, and not just turn them into something else like the Halloween ones did.

Comment by Tesslin

UPDATE: I did some more running around and it looks like my deathguards and axe throwers either wear the green winter hat, the full set of green winter clothes (minus the hat), the full set of green winter clothes including the hat, or nothing special at all.

Good news: these don't change your guards' race like the Hallow's End costumes did.

Bad news: it's apparently random whether a guard gets dressed up or not, and what he gets to wear. I saw one of my deathguards with a green christmas hat but nothing else. Another deathguard looked just like he always did. One of my frostwall axe throwers had the full green winter clothes outfit, except for the hat, and he also still wore the horde tabard. Another axe thrower looked like his usual self.

I hope this will get a little bit better - not only would I love to see every guard wearing nice Winter Veil clothes, it would also be cool if they would wear the Gaudy Winter Veil sweaters! :D

If you have chosen to switch out your garrison's guard force for another race than default (by talking to that faction's Recruiting Officer), it appears that the guard force can't be forced to wear those awful wonderful sweaters and festive holiday suits.

Too bad, I would have liked to have seen Blood Elf guardians in holiday outfits.

If you've gone to the trouble of grinding out the Merry Supplies to buy the Festive Outfits decoration, you'll have to switch out to the default garrison guards to see them.

Comment by Telar

I created a Video Guide for all new thing (mount, pet & toys and more) of the Feast of Winter Veil event:

Each holiday has 4 associated daily quests. Three of these quests reward 1 Merry Supplies each, and one rewards 2 (for a total of 5 Merry Supplies per day). All of the quests require a level 100 character with a level 3 garrison. All Winter's Veil quests are completed in a quest area in Frostfire Ridge, centered around roughly (45,28).Merry Supplies are used exclusively for items sold by Izzy Hollyfizzle - mostly garrison decorations.

This decoration puts pairs of Lil' Snowfighters in your garrison (I counted a total of 5 pairs, 10 total) that throw snowballs at each other periodically, and spawns Lil' Ralph, a festively garbed dancing goblin. It also puts a PX-238 Winter Wondervolt machine just outside your garrison town hall that will transform your into a Little Helper. Useful for the Winter Veil achievement With a Little Helper from My Friends.

This decoration dresses your guards in festive Christmas outfits (i.e. green or red Santa hats with or without Santa suits). It appears to be random as to how completely your guards will be dressed - some will have only Santa hats, while others will have a full Santa garb.Note that Ugly Christmas Sweaters are not part of these outfits!

A toy that is part of the Crashin' Thrashin' Iron Armada set (collecting them all grants the achievement Iron Armada)

Some notes about the decorations outlined above:

Each character can buy 1 decoration per day, as the four dailies for each holiday provide a total of 5 Merry Supplies per day.

The decorations are account bound, and can be sent to your other characters. As such, you can do the dailies on 4 alts and have all 5 decorations on your main on a single day!

They can only be displayed in a level 3 garrison.

Multiple decorations can be active in your garrison simultaneously.

Right-clicking a decoration to "use" it applies the effect described above to your garrison, and consumes the item. This effectively "unlocks" that decoration for your character, and it will be applied any time you choose after that.

You can speak to Izzy Hollyfizzle and select "The party's over. Get rid of these decorations, Izzy." to remove the decorations.

If you have cancelled the garrison decoration as above, speaking to Izzy again and selecting "Make my garrison ready for a Winter Veil party." will reapply all Winter Veil decorations you have unlocked.

If you have unlocked more than one decoration, the above actions (to remove or restore the decorations) will do so to ALL decorations from the specified holiday, not just selected ones.

Decorations for Winter Veil and those for Hallow's Eve are mutually exclusive - you can only have Hallow's Eve or Winter Veil decorations active at any given time, and not both simultaneously.

You can switch from Winter Veil to Hallow's Eve decorations and vice versa by speaking to Izzy - this will overwrite one with the other, although you can switch back at any time.

The currency for the decorations (enabling you to buy them) is only available during Winter's Veil. As such, these decorations can only be acquired then. However, the decorations can be applied to your garrison (after you have unlocked them) all year round!The decorations persist in your garrison until cancelled, across more than one day, and even if you log out.

This did not work for me. None of my guards had anything festive on and they are the original guards of the garrison.

Comment by bobtheman1y

Is this consumed on use?

Comment by tiggerbox29

It seems you need to change your guards faction then change it back to org/sw grunts to get them to wear these.

To be honest i can understand why my guards didn't want to wear them in the first place LOL

Of course I figure out how to put all the pretty printing quest checks into one macro After I post the long way. Leaving the long post up in case it helps people craft their own macros for other things. Here is the < 255 character way of checking all 5 Feast of Winter Veil decoration items:

/run for k,v in pairs({BallOfTangledLights=39615;ImportedTrees=39616;LittleHelpers=39767;FestiveOutfits=39671;OldBoxOfDecorations=39712})do print(format("%s: %s",k,IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r"))endAnd like below these are based on similar commands at fluffyfatfabulous.blogspot.com.--------------Beginning of Old post--------------If you are attempting to determine which decorations you have purchased you can use these commands, I split them up with the thought that people would assign them to macros:

The following are individual macros that look a little nicer. The formatting below is based on similar commands at fluffyfatfabulous.blogspot.com. I like how these show a green Yes or a red No if the quest is complete. I added the showtooltip to show the icon for these items. The length of these checks are between 164 and 170 characters. Too long to fit more than one command per macro:#showtooltip item:128665/run for k, v in pairs({ BallOfTangledLights = 39615}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end#showtooltip item:128666/run for k, v in pairs({ ImportedTrees = 39616}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end#showtooltip item:128667/run for k, v in pairs({ LittleHelpers = 39767}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end#showtooltip item:128668/run for k, v in pairs({ FestiveOutfits = 39671}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end#showtooltip item:128669/run for k, v in pairs({ OldBoxOfDecorations = 39712}) do print(format("%s: %s", k, IsQuestFlaggedCompleted(v) and "\124cff00ff00Yes\124r" or "\124cffff0000No\124r")) end

If you like the individual macros and still want the convenience of a single button click to check all 5 items you can create a macro that will click all five buttons you have assigned. To find out which button the macro should click use /fstack and when you mousing over the button it will show you. Example ActionButton6 or MultiBarBottomLeftButton8. And then create a macro like this:/click ActionButton6/click ActionButton7/click ActionButton8/click ActionButton9/click ActionButton10

The above example is setup with the default UI, I have changed the main button bar to be bar 2 and assigned the CheckAllItems macro as ActionButton5 and the rest as ActionButton6 through ActionButton10. The down side to this is that it requires 6 buttons on one of your bars.

After installing Festive Outfits, an NPC named Glark Criswold appears in your Garrison. When you talk to him, he has several lines referencing the National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation film.

Comment by Vermund

Talked to Izzy to remove all decorations, but even now my Frostwall guards are still wearing the Outfits.

Anyone else encountered this bug?

Comment by Tuhljin

Anyone else seem to get this unlocked for free? I never bought it yet my guards are dressed up, the macro posted in these comments says it's unlocked, and trying to use it says I can't do that (so I sold it back). (I'm certain I didn't buy it before. This character couldn't have done the quests in a previous year, it's only the 3rd day of the event which gives you enough to buy three things, and I can account for all three.)
